§ MR. DALY (Monaghan, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant for Ireland whether he can state if any of the cess collectors of county Monaghan, at the recent assizes, returned as unrecoverable county cess on evicted farms; and, if so, whether he can give the name of the landlord who owns the evicted farms, whether he is a grand juror, and the amount unrecoverable?
§ MR. GERALD BALFOURThe Secretary of the grand jury states that there were two applications for re-presentments of uncollectable cess at the last Monaghan Assizes amounting to £44 12s. 3d. and £9 8s. 5d. respectively. He has no means of ascertaining the names of the landlords who own the lands, as the applications for re-presentment do not contain the information.
§ MR. GERALD BALFOURI really do not know it.
